Hi:
When I install redhat on my laptop, the graphical install works well, but
everything then fails in the graphics department after that. What I found I
had to do was install some special Nvidia drivers after booting in command
line mode. Then I got the graphics to work. Here's the question I have...
How is it that Linux was able to operate during the install in a graphics
mode, and why couldn't it continue to operate in that generic mode instead
of forcing me to use the Nvidia drivers?
The reason I ask is because I wanted to run Mandrake Move on my laptop, but,
it too, can't get through the boot. I am wondering if it's running into the
same graphics problems as redhat did and if there is something I might be
able to do to get it use "generic" graphics?
Thanks,
Larry
